Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

Recalls

• NHTSA recall #05V480000October 17, 200533,042 vehicles affected

  seats: mid/rear assembly

  On certain mini vans equipped with a folding third row rear seat, when the third row seat is raised from its stowed position, it engages striker brackets, one on each side of the seat cushion. The fold-away striker loop is welded to a mounting bracket. The striker may become detached from its mounting bracket due to a broken weld at the point of attachment to the bracket.

  If the third row seat striker weld fails, the striker could separate from the mounting bracket. Striker separation could affect the risk of injury in certain types of crashes.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace the third row seat striker brackets free of charge. The recall began on december 19, 2005. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

• NHTSA recall #05V474000October 13, 2005109,437 vehicles affected

  seats: mid/rear assembly

  On certain mini vans, there is a seat adjustment mechanism that contains exposed moving components located at the rear inside edge of the second row seat.

  When the operator attempts seat adjustment, a finger may be pinched in the moving seat adjustment mechanism which could cause an injury.

  Remedy

  On earlier model vehicles built through june 28, 2004, dealers will replace the inboard second row seat adjustment handle, rivet a plastic reinforcement to backside of the existing seat back cover carpeting, install tie-downs and a flange to the inboard side shield. On vehicles produced from june 29, 2004 through september 26, 2005, dealers will rivet a plastic reinforcement to the backside of the existing seat back cover carpeting, install tie-downs and a flange on the inboard side shield. The recall began on december 19, 2005. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

• NHTSA recall #04V186000April 16, 200426,000 vehicles affected

  latches/locks/linkages: doors: latch

  On certain minivans equipped with a power sliding door(s), at an ambient temperature below approximately 40 degrees fahrenheit, the actuator for the power sliding door(s) may experience binding due to an out-of-specification condition. In order to open, close or reverse a power sliding door, the shift selector lever must be in "park." if the actuator is experiencing binding and the driver shifts the vehicle out of "park" while a power sliding door is still closing, the door latches may not engage.

  This Can result in the door coming open unexpectedly upon rapid acceleration, and an occupant could fall out of the door and be injured.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace the actuator for the power sliding door(s). Owner notification began on june 23, 2004. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

• NHTSA recall #04V103000March 1, 200413,757 vehicles affected

  air bags: frontal: sensor/control module-inactive

  Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the advanced air bag requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." the air bag for the front passenger seat is to be turned off (so that it does not inflate) when certain occupants, such as small children, are in the front seat.

  This reduces the risk of such occupants being unjured by an inflating air bag in a collision.

  Remedy

  Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat cushion/sensor assembly. If the seat cushion/sensor is found to be operating improperly, the seat will be removed and recalibrated. Owner notification began on june 23, 2004. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
